Mahatma Gandhi's Seven Blunders of the World

1 . Wealth Without Work
People wish things came on a silver platter, and our time was spent more on relaxation rather than bettering our work ethic. My dad would always tell me this, "if it is money that you haven't shed a drop of sweat for, never accept it. Work for what you'll earn." Life isn't easy, till you enjoy it after you worked for the enjoyment

2. Pleasure without Conscience
Mark Twain once said "Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life." (one of my favorit authors) however, life can't be as ideal as Twain wished it to be. Life should be enjoyed and we all should find pleasure from it, but we need to be aware of those who don't' have the fortunate life we now have.

3. Knowledge without Character
Become a knowledge seeker and embrace the distinctive nature of intellectuality.

4. Commerce without Morality
Now This is what we suffer the most from. Capitalism! Be an advocate of the system and don't become the victim.

5. Science Without Humanity
Something that really interests me (going back to my previous post "Are African's the Human Guinea pig?" How much would people sacrifice for the sake of science and learning?

6. Worship Without Sacrifice
To be a sincere believer of faith, one must with hold temptation. Prioritize the good, and sacrifice certain things to better yourself for the sake of what you believe in.

7. Politics without Principle.
This defines itself.
